Subject: things I won't miss
There’s very little I won’t miss about the college application experience. It is miserable.
A few things stand out:
—agonizing over his Calculus AB grade in senior year
—his need to send a LOCI after he got deferred from ED to RD
—arguing with him over some of his essays (thankfully, not often)
—his senioritis, his Alfred E Newman, what? me worry? attitude, looking back, I should have been the same
He knew there were several places that would be good fits for him, while DW and I agonized through the whole process.

Dealing with the HS counselors. Some have been absolutely fantastic, others have been more than useless.
Third kid about to commit to the third T20 - public school family and never met a guidance counselor and couldn’t name one from their school. Yours is a 1% problem
Your kid is a D1 athlete about to sign a national letter of intent? Congrats!
